Ask for the headset profile at capture start; relaunch the daemon on update

The daemon now requests the Bluetooth headset profile itself (pactl
set-card-profile) the moment a take starts, instead of waiting for
WirePlumber to notice the stream and run its switch timer. The microphone
link comes up 0.15-0.18 s after the key instead of 0.21-0.27 s; WirePlumber
still restores A2DP when the stream goes away. First real audio is now at
0.82-0.86 s, which is the headset's own floor.

When the plugin is updated while the daemon runs, the daemon sees its source
change, exits with code 4 once idle, and the shell service relaunches it
without counting that as a crash.
